Abstract:
United States (U.S.) fishermen, participating in the Pacific albacore tuna fishery, are required to obtain a Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and/or a High-Seas Fishery Compliance Act permit. A requirement for the permits is to complete and submit logbooks documenting their daily fishing activities, including catch and effort for each fishing trip. Submissions must be made within thirty (30) days of the completion of a trip. The information obtained is used by the agency to assess the status of Pacific albacore stocks and to monitor the fishery. The agency also provides an electronic alternative to the hard copy form. Use of this electronic logbook is voluntary. There is a Privacy Act Statement on the Pacific HMS Web page.

Short Statement:
Adjustments: There is an increase in respondents to 1700 from 1000, using an average number of HMS permit holders over the last three years. The previous sponsor had not updated the respondent numbers, so they were six years out of date this year and have been adjusted accordingly. The average cost per mailing was recalculated at $0.50. Thus although costs increased based on accurate counting of responses, they did not increase proportionally.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$58,600
